Sundar, ( Soon-dar) is Sanskrit for beauty or elegance.It is through the pathway of connectivity that yoga enhances our well being, resilience and ability to remain graceful as we face lifes challenges.

Sundar Yoga is the teaching practice of Kirsty van der Geer. Kirsty has had a love of movement from her early years as a gymnast and dancer. Her creative passion led her into a twenty year long career in the art department of the film and television industry. Throughout this time Kirsty discovered yoga as a means to keep her body supple for the gruelling days on set and quickly fell in love with the practice for the benefits and peace it bought her.



After her second child was born, Kirsty took a new direction and began teaching yoga. She has since completed more than 500 hours in teacher training in both the practices of Yin and Vinyasa. Kirsty has trained extensively under the tutoring of Yin yoga teacher Jo Phee. 



Kirsty's understanding of bone variation and fascial tension allows her to skillfully guide all body types into a practice that supports the unique shape, history and injury that students may bring to their mats. Her Yin classes are deeply nourishing and offer students opportunity for contemplation in a supportive environment.

Her Vinyasa classes will often blend elements of free movement, QiGong and classic yoga for her students to explore the various pathways to opening up the body and its energetic channels, and to build a deeper body awareness for greater ease and grace.

Some of the teachers Kirsty has trained with are Jo Phee, Amy Ippolitti, Tara Judelle, Vincent Boletta and Kara-Leah Grant

.Kirsty is currently training in a year long programme in Hansa Therapeutics.
